2-9 November 2008 - European Youth Week

The fourth European Youth Week celebrates twenty years of European programmes for youth.
It's the perfect time to look to the future and discuss the challenges that young people in Europe will be facing in the years to come.
So mark your calendar from November 2 to 9 – because the youth of Europe will be speaking up! Events will be organised in the 31 countries participating in the Youth in Action programme and a central event will take place in Brussels from November 2 to 6.

This year's Youth Week is dedicated to "intercultural dialogue" – the EU's theme of 2008.
